A great deal of education for children depends on what they learn in the school especially in the developing countries like India where majority attends a formal school in order to get a certification. Consequently, the factors responsible to shape any classroom processes becomes important from research point of view as they can affect the students’ performance substantially. Teachers’ beliefs are considered to be the most important factor that decides the overall learning environment of the class. Their beliefs about the subject, learners and teaching learning process are the basis of what they do in the classroom. This paper attempts to study teachers’ beliefs about the subject i.e. EVS and its classroom practices. A five point likert scale was developed that contained 25 items on the nature of the subject and its classroom teaching. The data was collected from 32 pre-service teachers for the pilot study. The results of the study showed that teachers have a vast range of beliefs about the nature of EVS that mainly matches with the constructivist approach. The teachers believed that EVS is a subject that is taught in an integrated form by taking concepts from science and social science. Additionally, the learner is treated as an active learner who can observe and reach to his or her own conclusion.
